Trillo NPP

● Position– 40º42'4'' N– 2º37'23'' W

● Started operation in 1987; 1043 MW; PWR● Distances to nearest urban areas

– Guadalajara (81200 hab): 46 km– Madrid (metropolitan area): 70 km

Scenario objective

● Based on a hypothetical release of radioactivity from a NPP

● It is intended to provide an opportunity to test model predictions for mid­term atmospheric dispersion:– Ground deposition– Air time­integrated concentrations– Contamination time series at selected locations

Input data

● Geographic data– Topography– Points of interest

● Meteorological data– Wind fields

● Release data– Radionuclides released– Duration and magnitude of releases

Simulation endpoints

● Contour map of deposited activity (Bq/m2) on the ground at the end of the simulation.

● Contour  map  of  time  integrated  air  activity  concentration  ­

(Bq/m3)×min­ at ground level (averaged value up to 50 m over the ground).

● Time  series  of  activity  concentration  in  air  ­Bq/m3­  (averaged value  from ground  level  to 50 m) at  three points: Guadalajara, downtown  Madrid  and  an  intermediate  point  between  TNPP and Guadalajara.
